Hey all. Thanks for the heads up -- at least I know I'm not talking out into the void. I keep meaning to make a recap post about the various things that have been going on, but the time seems to elude me. Now I must go to sleep (after which I'll play some bridge in the afternoon), but I'll leave you with this.
Jet and Roy are planning a grill-out for later today (they are also just now going to sleep =) ), which will be a nice kick into summer. Mmmm.
In bridge-related news, I just achieved the Regional Master rank after having placed in an open Swiss teams event at a Regional in Rockford last week -- woot! In band-related news, I just heard a mixdown of one of our demo tracks and despite its imperfections, it sounds pretty good! Word is that we'll try to edge our way into a show mid-July at a posher (and probably bigger) venue than our last gig. I'll keep you posted. [07:02]

What is somewhat indicative though is that just 2 months ago I'd achieved the previous rank (~30th percentile), which means I just doubled my total masterpoint holding in the space of 2 months. That was a bit quicker than I'd expected. So that's cool =).
